| Chamara Kapugedera replaces injured Tillakaratne Dilshan for remaining ODIs Posted: 09 Nov 2012 10:10 AM PST
Sri Lanka manager Charith Senanayake said from Hambantota that Dilshan has suffered a lower back injury. The fourth ODI is slated for tomorrow while the fifth and final ODI will be played on Monday at Hambantota. It was Dilshan’s century which enabled Sri Lanka to win the 3rd ODI in Kandy earlier in the week.
The Sri Lankan selectors have also picked 19 year-old uncapped off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal in the 15-man squad. Kaushal would form a formidable spin combination with seasoned campaigners Rangana Herath and Suraj Randiv. Sri Lanka however appears to rely on the pace quartet of Kulasekera, Welegedara, Dhammika Prasad and Shaminda Eranga. Later in the Test series, the first match begins in Galle on November 17 while the final Test will be played at the SSC here in Colombo from November 25.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| JP Duminy ruled out of test series against Australia due to injury Posted: 09 Nov 2012 09:46 AM PST
The injury occurred during a fitness training drill after the opening day at the Gabba with MRI scans confirming the injury. Team manager Mohammed Moosajee said: “At first assessment JP said he heard a loud clicking sound and it felt like he had been hit by an object. The diagnosis of an Achilles’ tendon rupture was confirmed by the MRI scan this evening and he will undergo surgery to re-attach the tendon Saturday morning.” “Injuries of this nature are caused by a sudden contraction against the direction of movement by the calf muscle as was the case during his sprint.”
“We will only be able to gauge further down the line on an expected recovery date, but injuries of this nature have been known to take up to at least six months before the player can resume playing cricket,” Moosajee said. Duminy will not feature in the rest of the match, with 12th man Francois du Plessis assuming the fielding duties. He will return back to South Africa as soon as possible with a replacement to be named in due course.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Sri Lanka announce Test Squad for New Zealand series Posted: 09 Nov 2012 01:43 AM PST
Sri Lanka have named uncapped teenage off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal in their squad for the two-Test series against New Zealand starting at Galle on November 17. Kaushal represented Sri Lanka at the under-19 World Cup in Australia earlier this year and is a member of the Sri Lanka one-day squad currently playing New Zealand in a five-match series. “Kaushal has a lot of potential and we have included him in the squad to (help him) get the feel of being in the presence of senior players and train with them,” chief selector Ashantha de Mel said on Friday. Kaushal, who has not played a first-class match yet, almost certainly will not make his debut in the Galle Test where off-spinner Suraj Randiv is expected to join experienced left-arm spinner Rangana Herath in the playing XI.
“We will see how the other off-spinner Suraj Randiv bowls in the first Test and then decide whether we should take a gamble with Kaushal,” de Mel said. Colombo hosts the second Test from Nov 25. Sri Lanka Test squad: Mahela Jayawardene (captain), Angelo Mathews, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Tharanga Paranavitana, Kumar Sangakkara, Thilan Samaraweera, Prassanna Jayawardene, Tharindu Kaushal, Suraj Randiv, Rangana Herath, Dinesh Chandimal, Nuwan Kulasekara, Chanaka Welegedara, Shaminda Eranga, Dhammika Prasad.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| South Africa dominate on Day 1 of 1st test against Australia Posted: 09 Nov 2012 01:20 AM PST
Amla surpassed 5,000 career runs and shared partnerships of 136 with Jacques Kaliis (84 not out) for the third wicket and 90 for the second wicket with opener Alviro Petersen (64). A leaked Australia team dossier which appeared in local media in the lead-up to the first Test said Amla was susceptible to “psychological warfare.” There was no indication of any such weakness on Friday as he moved within ten runs of posting a century for a third successive Test against Australia.
He did give some chances and half chances – including a slashing edge between wicketkeeper and first slip off Nathan Lyon when he was on 62 – but remained composed. The 63-Test veteran went in at the dismissal of skipper Graeme Smith (10) with the total at 29. He survived an appeal for lbw before he’d scored and a caught-and-bowled chance to Peter Siddle on 74. He had faced 205 balls and stroked six boundaries and a six when play was halted eight overs early due to bad light. Kallis plundered the attack for eight boundaries and a six from the 136 balls he faced. For all the speculation of aggressive pace dominating in conditions aiding swing and seam, the Australian attack toiled without much success on a green-tinged Gabba wicket. Siddle was frustrated after missing opportunities to break up the Amla-Kallis partnership, which has produced some outstanding 100-plus stands in Test cricket. Kallis got a reprieve when he was on 42 and the total at 192-2 when he started walking after miscuing a Siddle slower ball and looping a catch to Lyon at mid-off. Umpire Asad Rauf told Kallis to wait while he checked for a no-ball, which TV replays confirmed – showing no part of Siddle’s front foot behind the crease at the point of delivery. Siddle missed another chance in the 62nd over when he couldn’t grasp a driven return catch from Amla. South Africa was 206-2 at the time. Earlier, Petersen also had a let off, getting the benefit of the doubt when Australia referred a not out decision to the TV umpire for an lbw appeal by Ben Hilfenhaus. The ball pitched just outside the line and appeared to hit in front, on Petersen’s front toe, when he was on 51. Petersen hit two more boundaries before mistiming a Lyon delivery to Mike Hussey at mid-on, leaving South Africa at 119-2. Skipper Smith didn’t get any second chances after winning the toss and batting, becoming the first South Africa batsman dismissed in a Test at the Gabba ground in 49 years when he was trapped lbw by James Pattinson in the 11th over. He was initially adjudged not out by umpire Billy Bowden despite being hit on the back pad, directly in front of the stumps, but the decision was overruled on review. Showers or storms were forecast for Friday and Saturday, but there was no rain during the first 82 overs despite the gloomy conditions which finally caused an early end to play. South Africa, playing its first Test at the Gabba since 1963, went in with five pace options after selecting seamer Rory Kleinveldt to make his debut at the expense of legspinner Imran Tahir. Kleinveldt will supplement the world-class pace trio of Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel, and veteran allrounder Kallis.lbw decision on 51, then mis-timed an attempted shot through mid-wicket off Nathan Lyon and was caught by Mike Hussey for 64.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
